If you can afford it, get the bigger ones. I don't regret buying the ones that I did, but like I said, there are times where I wish they weren't as small as they are. That being said, yes, I think I...

I have the set of small stones that you've mentioned, and I like them. There are times when I wish they were a little bigger, though.

I don't have slurry stones for mine, and it really isn't an issue. When I want to use slurry, which isn't that often, I use a credit card sized DMT600 to raise a little.

Also, I refinished a 9/16"...

Instead of oil, have you considered Smith's honing solution? I've been using it on an Arkie that I recently acquired and really like it. I haven't tried it on any of these Welsh stones yet, but...

A few nights ago I took three razors that needed a little touch up back to the stones, starting with a handful of laps on the DT and then finishing on the LM. This morning I used one of those razors,...

I've only been shaving off the WT with Solingen blades of various manufacturers, and the WT has put a fine edge on each one thus far. I'm going to hone one and finish on the LM later tonight and see...

I worked on another of my razors yesterday afternoon. It had previously been honed using a Norton 1k for bevel setting, and then finished using the one-stone method on a coticule. While the coticule...

Me too! I've used them on a couple of razors and I've had extremely good results. My best results have come with using each in succession coming off the Norton 8k. I have two smallish coticules that...

After receiving the stones a few days ago, I re-finished the edge on a razor that was starting to tug. My stones are the micro-sized ones, so it probably took about 40 or 50 laps on each stone for me...

Yeah, 3 weeks to arrive... AJ mailed them on February 27th and they arrived in New York on February 29th; it took from then until March 17th to get to my house.

Anyway, despite what AJ's ad said,...

After almost three weeks, mine set of stones is finally out for delivery! I'm seriously looking forward to doing some honing tonight!

I'm still waiting.... been almost two weeks since they were shipped and they've been in the US for a week and a half. :banghead:

You're lucky. After doing some reading on the net, it seems that the most likely explanation is that it's already left NY and isn't tracked anymore. Either way, it's becoming glaringly obvious why...

Customs is killing me. My stones have been in New York for almost a week and they're still there.

I think mine are supposed to be delivered today. Hopefully the mailman will come by after I get home from work, otherwise it'll be tomorrow afternoon before I can go by the post office and pick them...

As I read the reviews of these stones, I grow more and more impatient waiting for my set to arrive.

Well, you guys talked me into it! I pulled the trigger on the micro set; each stone is about 4" long and 2" wide. I figure they're all in the finishing range, so a smaller stone really wouldn't...
